Killer Beach (2015)

Killer Beach: Directed by Isaac Gabaeff. With Brooke Butler, Cleo Berry, Cynthia Murell, Dean Geyer. After an all-night graduation beach party, a group of hung-over twenty-somethings awake to a beating sun, and a seemingly carnivorous beach that devours anything with a heartbeat that touches the sand.

“Letu0026#39;s make no mistake, I didnu0026#39;t expect movie with the title u0026quot;The Sandu0026quot; to be masterpiece, just a rather cheap dumb horror movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd u0026quot;The Sandu0026quot; is exactly like that. I did like the premise of u0026quot;something is in the sandu0026quot;, because it reminded me of those 50s horror-SF movies, even the premise is hard to take seriously. (but hey, thatu0026#39;s why so many of us love these movies).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Sandu0026quot; isnu0026#39;t a masterpiece of course, nor is it a good horror movie, but it offers some level of entertainment. The main premise is more or less one you saw in u0026quot;Blood Beachu0026quot; or one of those segments of u0026quot;Creepshow 2u0026quot; where characters are stuck on raft. u0026quot;The Sandu0026quot; plays the same: characters are stuck while the sand around them literally tries to devour them, or at least something thatu0026#39;s in the sand. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActing is sorta descent for this type of movie. I am unfamiliar with actors, but considering what the premise has and some of the stupid dialogue they had to say, itu0026#39;s a miracle how much they are selling the impossible situation they are stuck in. Speaking of characters, thereu0026#39;s nothing special, they are your usual horror cannon fodder, except the two characters: the fat black guy whou0026#39;s stuck in trash bin for the entire movie and the u0026quot;oblivious to everythingu0026quot; cop. Of course, he dies too for being cop in a horror movie. Surprised? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy main complaint is use of CGI gore effects. Movie should have stick to practical effects, but instead we get some obvious terrible CGI gore. Note to any filmmaker there who wants to make monster movie (because this is essentially one): Do practical FX and show the monster. No matter how cheap or bad looking it is, everyoneu0026#39;s come to see it and the worst thing is if you grace us with CGI and no monster. No matter how bad practical FX and makeup might look, youu0026#39;ll get points from monster movie lovers for having courage to show and push it in front of us. Itu0026#39;s sole reason why we come to see those monster movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd other major complaint is that, much like u0026quot;Zombieversu0026quot; this one runs out of steam around the half. One running joke. If it was 30-40 minute short movie, it would have been a much better movie.”
